Apple TV’s dramedy Shrinking has entered its third season, bringing back its core cast and a new focus on the fallout of the main character’s loss. The review highlights Harrison Ford’s performance as the therapist’s mentor, noting that his nuanced portrayal gives the show its emotional centre. The season follows the grieving therapist, Jimmy, as he attempts to rebuild his life after forgiving the drunk driver who killed his wife, while his mentor suffers worsening Parkinson’s. The narrative weaves in side stories about adoption, family dynamics, and the challenges of therapy practice, though the reviewer complains that the series often leans too heavily on melodrama and unrealistic plot devices. Despite these flaws, the ensemble’s chemistry and Ford’s subtle acting keep the show engaging, and a fourth season has already been commissioned. Overall the review gives a mixed assessment, praising the performances but critiquing the show’s over‑sentimentality and lack of boundary in its portrayals of therapy.
